The five biggest ones so I can use them to pick bananas from tall trees and things

Don't know about the other 4 but "how to build a raft for dummies" could be a good choice:^)

kon tiki by thor heyerdahl

In Search of Lost Time
Les Miserables
War and Peace
Infinite Jest

undaunted courage is probably my fave ambrose out of the 4-5 books I've read by him.

Being and Time
In Search of Lost Time(it counts as one book, yes?)

Your favourite books and books you'd be stuck with on an island aren't necessarily the same

Yeah, but how big is it? The SAS Guide is about the size of my wallet. It's very easy to take places, tuck into a pocket of a backpack, fit into the glove box, generally find room for without taking up much space or weight.

You've got me there. This thing is paperback, sure, but it's about the size of...a big damn book.
